  1. Go figure that Trump would endanger the lives of the only people who would vote for him.

    1. Donald J Trump has never taken responsibly for his entire life, and distraction has worked for him.

      This pandemic that he knows he has done too little to address, has killed over 130k humans, and he can’t avoid the fact that he was on watch and let it happen.

      Putin has continued to be a threat to our citizens, and Trump only made excuse after excuse in defense of this madness. Trump made excuses for Kim Jon In, when North Korea sent back an American that they tortured to death. Trump did nothing in retaliation for the murder and dismemberment of an American resident reporter. And now, with this deadly COVID-19 sweeping through our nation, Trump has his own base risking their lives to his pleasure….

      On and on, Trump has shown Americans that he is not for Americans, and as long as he thinks he’s fooling anyone, he will continue to distract while pushing the only agenda that has ever really mattered…himself.

  2. with the pandemic and the passion- driven division currently in this country, for a president to make mounds of cement the top priority is a total lack of leadership. If it works, the country deserves him.

    1. @Fred Williamson no one thinks that’s ok. Let me ask you this: how many people in your community have been affected directly by the “counter culture’s” violence? How many by the virus? OK then.

    1. Hillary is also a part of american history. I demand a statue of her. And Kapernick. Who will remember them without statues?!

    2. Also Timothy McVeigh and every other poxy massmurderer otherwise we might forget our history. Don’t you just love trump “logic”?😂😂

    1. @Dave Schultz Yeah, if you knew how to read you would have realized he went to the funeral of a former college in the Senate who was a segregationist POS. So what? you clowns are fighting to preserve the statues of the same. Amazing how you mongrels are all sooooo much against the democrats but you’re all defending all them Southern Democrats from the 19th Century…….Lee, Davies, Johnson, Benning, Bragg 7 others. The same democrats you low information morons use as a tool to call the democrats of the 21st century the creators of the KKK. You can’t have it both ways, imbecile.🤡 Double standard much??

    2. @Mike Johnson Good idea, Einstein! That Illegal immigrant might turn out to be the discoverer of the cure for cancer. Thanks, good idea. Maybe he/she is already in the DACA program.

    3. @Adventure54 So your gonna take him or her into your house support and pay the college tuition before an American?

    4. @Adventure54 The idiots that are tearing down the statues don’t even know what they stand for! Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves so why tear that one down? They are paid by George Soros or their heads are filled with BS by liberal anarchist. They need jobs and education not spend their lives being destructive and full of hate.

    1. Mike Johnson got to keep pushing back on the narrative of the MSMM. We’re the silent majority! 🙌🏻

    1. They Don,t give a damm.about George Floyd just 2 steal loot that all they sAying o boyfriend to

    2. Nikki Travis Joe dementia Biden holding fake rallies and fake interviews from his basement. Keep your tin foil hat on.

  3. He’s just pissed because Nobody’s offered to cast him in brass………I’d Love to cast him BACK INTO THE FIRES OF HELL from whence he came.

    1. I would like to see him casted in brass, as Putin`s horse.

    1. True but not so sure the anti-reality community is as narrow as he thinks. I have plenty of friends and parents of friends who will defend their way of life and way of thinking by voting Trump. And those are all people I otherwise regard highly – they are not generally dumb or delusional. They are compassionate caring people who happen to think Trump is the lesser evil compared to the other evil. If you have a choice between two evils, people will tend to fall on BOTH sides with regard to who might be a little less awful, so it really could go either way, with luck deciding which way the dice will roll on voting day essentially. Also note that to convince these voters it might be good to not imply all who like Trump are racists by definition. If you do that, you ensure Trump’s followers will not vote for Biden, because they would have to buy into the position that they and likely most of their friends were or are racists. The labels are attached firmly at this point, and they are probably going to stick.

    2. you mean like… when child rapist communist democrats claim that men can menstruate…?

    3. @shobvious What you say makes sense for 2016. People, if not thoroughly informed and desperate might have thought Trump might be a bit less awfull than Ms Clinton and might even bring some fresh ideas. That was not dumb. But to support Trump now, that he’s clearly showing he’s a fascist, wants to destroy the rule of law and follows each single step from the fascist playbook – that is either dumb, brainwashed or psychopathic.
      Putin has achieved his mission to bring major discord to the US. That was exactly what he planned. Since Trump the US’ reputation internationally fell from around 70% to about 30%. Trump, and unfortunately since he’s the president, also the US are the laughing-stock of the world. How can anyone in his right mind chose an uneducated, bragging, criminal con-man as president?
      What does he want? Asked (by one of the Fox sycophants, I believe it was Tucker Carlson) what his central issues for his second term are, he said: „One of the things that will be really great — the word experience is still good, I always say talent is more important than experience, I’ve always said that — but the word experience is a very important word, a very important meaning. I never did this before, never slept over in Washington. I was in Washington maybe 17 times and all of a sudden I’m the president of the United States, you know the story, riding down Pennsylvania Avenue with our first lady and I say this is great but I didn’t know very many people in Washington, it wasn’t my thing. I was from Manhattan, from New York, and now I know everybody. And I have great people in the administration. You make some mistakes, like an idiot like Bolton, you don’t have to drop bombs on everybody.“ 
      A stable genius? Or at least a normal person? Or mad as a hatter?

    4. Wow, someone else loves that expression. I just wrote a comment about it, then I discovered your one.

    1. …wishing me a Merry Christmas…and blaming Trump for America’s 130 million China Virus deaths.

    2. @Jordan Wow. Are you really this delusional, or are you paid to embarrass yourself with blatant idiocy like this?
      No one is this lost.

    3. Heard he smelled for girls & cornered some women. Enjoy your cup of joe. Biden the worst klansnen of all

  4. I’m a life long musician…concert pianist who has been out of work for months..I’ve basically been forced into early retirement…45 has to go.

    1. @Nicole Manuel Trump is trying to give everyone corona virus because he’s to big a coward to actually fix the economy.

    2. @Mickey E Yeah that’s what hes trying to do you had nail right on the head yup he’s trying to give everybody the Corona virus what the F*** is wrong with you people thats the last thing he wants it would kill the economy. The statistics show the death toll 99.74% recovery rate

    3. Mickey E I’m not a Repub but are you asleep. The Economy from stock market to jobs is coming back fast and Dems are yelling LOCKDOWN

    4. Trump can’t open up the economy. People are afraid to go out and live normal again. If the virus was under control and Americans felt safe and protected the economy would come back but until then it won’t happen.

  5. In the face of losing health insurance and struggling not to get evicted, i cant say statues of anyone are anywhere on my radar of concerns

    1. Exactly. I like history as much as the next person, but it’s not the most important issue by far.

      I’d rather not waste time protecting statues to traitors when thousands are dying every week from a preventable pandemic.

    2. I agree with you. I hope things get better for you. I am exactly where you are and I understand. Its scary.

    1. The Nazis and the Communists always do this. They do not tolerate dissent. Just remember, the Nazis killed the blacks with shovels and burned the Jews in the stoves. Do you want this for yourself and your family?

  6. He was slurring too. Medication? As November approaches and people see no money for holiday shopping he will have no answers.

  7. Many of the monuments in question were erected during Jim Crow and in response to the Civil Rights effort in the 1960s to oppress the descendants of slaves and intimidate them so that the white majority could continue to oppress them. They need to come down. Relicate them to museums where they can be put in the proper context.

    400 years of oppression is enough, if Trump is tone deaf to that, it’s not very surprising, he’s been out of touch for a long while.
